Abstract: A method and corresponding system identify missing interactions in incompletely known datasets represented as complex networks. The method identifies missing connections in a complex network. The method accesses an electronic representation of the network. The network includes nodes and links, the nodes represent entities, and the links represent interactions between the entities. For each pair of nodes not directly connected by a link, the method determines a number of paths connecting the pair of nodes and calculates a prediction score for the pair of nodes based on the number of paths connecting the pair of nodes. The method ranks the pairs of nodes based on the prediction scores, resulting in an ordered list of node pairs, and selects at least a subset of the pairs of nodes based on the ordered list of node pairs. The selected pairs of nodes represent missing connections in the network.

Abstract: Cyclic esters of hydroxy organic acids can be produced and recovered via azeotropic distillation. In certain embodiments cyclic esters, such as glycolide and lactide, can be produced from a fermentation broth or other feed stream that contains a hydroxy organic acid, an ammonium salt of a hydroxy organic acid, an amide of a hydroxy organic acid, or an ester of a hydroxy organic acid using azeotropic distillation. The hydroxy organic acid of the feed stream or the hydroxy organic acid derived from the feed stream by decomposition is reacted to produce the cyclic ester. In other embodiments a crude composition of a cyclic ester of an organic ester can be purified using azeotropic distillation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for the recovery of at least one of an organic acid or an organic acid amide, such as a heat stable lactic acid or lactamide, from a feed stream which contains the organic acid and/or organic acid amide. The feed stream is mixed with at least one azeotroping agent. The azeotroping agent is a hydrocarbon capable of forming at least one heteroazeotrope with the organic acid or the organic acid amide in the feed stream. The mixture of the feed stream and the azeotroping agent is heated to produce a vapor stream. The heteroazeotrope is a component of that vapor stream. The vapor stream can be heated further to separate components or it can be condensed into a liquid stream. The liquid stream is capable of being separated into a first phase and a second phase. The first phase contains the highest concentration of the organic acid and/or the organic acid amide and the azeotroping agent is part of the second phase.
